Spiritual transformation is less about trying hard and more about training well.  John Ortberg writes in The Life You’ve Always Wanted: Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People about the compelling transformative journey of growing close to Christ through practicing spiritual disciplines.  Ortberg draws from his experience as a pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and a bestselling author.  He renders encouragement to the hearts of people that feel spiritually stuck.  To those disappointed, Ortberg speaks hope over those lives.  Those weary of trying hard are lifted up.  The Life You’ve Always Wanted is targeted to help people grow in the thinking that faith in Christ is a transformative process.  Spiritual disciplines are tools to equip the man or woman being changed into the likeness of Jesus.  Join Ortberg as he encourages, “The possibility of transformation is the essence of hope.”
